<p>I still haven’t made it a full week sober - but i´m seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!In this episode of My Addicted Brain, I share where I’m actually at right now. Stuck between intention and action. I want to change, but something in my brain keeps pulling me back.This isn’t just about alcohol. It’s about how all of my addictions connect. Alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, sugar, scrolling and junkfood - all feeding the same loop. And the more I think about it, the more I realize: this isn’t just me. Everyone is addicted to something one way or another. There´s an empty hole inside of us that wants to be filled with dopamine. And the brains job is to fill that hole - keep us comfortable. BUT...The dopamine spike doesn’t come when i drink - it comes when i decide to drink.That means the craving, the reward, and the behavior might not be as tightly linked as I thought. And maybe… that’s where a way out exists.This episode isn’t a success story. It’s me trying to understand my own patterns in real time, and hoping that awareness can eventually lead to change.If you’ve ever struggled with addiction, habits, or just doing what you know is right i would love for you to join me in this journey.</p>

<p>In Episode 3, I talk about relapsing during a major work trip, coming home, and realizing alcohol may be the hardest addiction for me to beat. Even while drinking, smoking, and staying highly functional, something underneath is clearly breaking. I also open up about starting ADHD medication, how much it helps, and how it’s changing the way I understand my brain, my cravings, and my addiction. This is an honest episode about relapse, rationalization, and trying to fight back.</p><p><br></p>
